  • Patent number: 5748499
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording and playing back computer graphics data, including cursor movement data, and audio data which requires no X-Window command extensions. During recording, the command data stream to a display controller is intercepted, time stamped at regular intervals, and sent to and stored in a first file in a mass storage device. Cursor movement and operation data also is intercepted, time stamped and stored in a second file. During recording, display state data is generated and recorded into a third file at specified intervals. For playback, the system operator is presented with a graphic user interface resembling the control panel of a video cassette recorder. The system operator can play back the recorded information starting from a designated instant by operating the "buttons" on the control panel. For playback, the third file is read and forwarded to the display controller.

  • Patent number: 5749045
    Abstract: A method for handling alarm conditions from paging stations in a paging system is disclosed. The paging system includes a paging terminal, a plurality of paging stations, and a network manager. When a paging station has an alarm condition, the paging station forwards the alarm to the network manager, which in turn, compares the alarm with an alarm record for that paging station and determines whether or not that alarm is a higher priority than the previous alarms received from the paging station. If so, the network manager transmits a signal to the paging terminal to page the technician responsible for servicing that particular paging station. The technician is paged and dispatched to the paging station for service.

  • Patent number: 5748745
    Abstract: An analog vector processor and method for converting right and left mono and stereo audio input signals through a series of six amplifier blocks and two control blocks using a series of unique signal path connections. The six amplifier blocks are comprised of three dual-amplifiers, two spacial amplifiers, a four-amplifier integrated circuit that inverts and transposes the signal path thus putting the signals out-of-phase. The two control blocks are comprised of a new and unique signal mixer control block that selects a mono, stereo, spacial or binaural signal, and a level control block for dual tracking of the signals. The resultant output signals are of an altered sound field producing a binaural effect thus creating a three-dimensional sound experience. The input signals may be from any sound source or conducting medium.
